About Hooshmand Law Group

We are focused on helping tenants and helping consumers in class action lawsuits. We are a tenants only firm and only assist tenants. For affirmative lawsuits for damages we work on contingency which means we only recover if you recover.

We are committed to helping tenants defend evictions and to recover damages related to false owner move in (OMI) evictions, wrongful and retaliatory evictions and evictions dealing with illegal units. We also sue landlords to recover damages as a result of violations of law related to wrongful evictions, false owner move in evictions, lock outs and significant harassment.

We are one of the few firms that takes cases to trial to obtain value for our clients. Many attorneys take cases but they are not focused on taking cases to trial if needed. We prepare as if the case is going to trial.

Selecting the Right Attorney

Before hiring a law firm meet with them and talk with them about the process. It is also important to understand the billing process including whether the firm works on contingency or charges hourly. Also if you have a sizable claim your attorney should be willing to work on contingency (for a percentage of the recovery) since you should not have to pay to obtain a recovery.

Attorney Resources

When evaluating firms, choose one that has the talent and resources to see your case through trial. If the opposing attorney knows that your attorney will not take the case to trial then you will not receive proper value for your case.

Dedication to Tenant Rights

We are dedicated to tenant rights and have fought to strengthen the laws on behalf of tenants. We believe in the importance of rent control and the importance of the law protecting all tenants from all walks of life.

After a two-week trial the jury found that the landlords, who had recently purchased the 4-unit building in San Francisco, had acted in bad faith and knowing disregard of the law when they terminated the Plaintiff’s tenancy on the pretext that their brother would be moving into the unit. The San Francisco Rent Ordinance requires that a landlord or relative for whom a unit is vacated must have a good faith intent to occupy the unit for a period of thirty-six consecutive months. Often, however, the owner or relative never move in and instead the Landlord rents the unit out at a much higher price. Read more….

“I would recommend using the Hooshmand Law Group to anyone...and have referred several of my friends/colleagues and other people to their offices for assistance. While I have now grown somewhat jaded to the harassment and the constant month to month motion process I know as long as Mark and John are handling my cases we will prevail.”by Sean M.
